SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Manually tracking and summarizing merged pull requests across multiple DevRel repositories to publish a weekly "What's New" digest is repetitive and error-prone. This Skill automates fetching pending merged PRs and merging AI-written summaries into the Hugo data file that powers the public /whats-new/ page. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Automated PR Fetching: Pulls merged pull requests from the repos listed in hugo/data/whats_new.json using the GitHub CLI, with a default 90-day lookback or an explicit --since cutoff. - AI-Written Summaries: Guides the assistant to categorize each PR (Feature, Fix, Performance, Docs, Maintenance) and write one plain-language, community-voice summary sentence. - Idempotent Merging: Merges new entries into hugo/data/whats_new.json without re-summarizing PRs already present, preserving existing wording. - Use Case: A developer advocate runs the skill weekly to refresh the public What's New page before go-live, reviews the updated JSON, and commits it through the normal build pipeline. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to refresh the What's New digest from merged PRs across the DevRel repos and update hugo/data/whats_new.json.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a What's New digest from merged GitHub pull requests?▼

Run the fetch script with the GitHub CLI to collect merged PRs from the repos listed in hugo/data/whats_new.json, summarize each pending PR by category, then run the merge script to update the data file. Review and commit the result manually.

How do I limit the What's New digest to PRs after a specific date?▼

Pass an explicit ISO-8601 UTC cutoff with the --since flag to the fetch script, for example --since 2026-08-10T16:00:00Z. Without it, the script defaults to a 90-day lookback window.

Does the What's New digest require the GitHub CLI?▼

Yes, the gh CLI must be installed and authenticated, verifiable with gh auth status. The fetch script relies on it to query merged pull requests, and the skill must be run from the repository root.

Will re-running the digest overwrite existing summaries?▼

No, the merge step is idempotent. Pull requests already present in hugo/data/whats_new.json are never re-summarized, so previously reviewed wording stays unchanged.

Does this skill deploy the What's New page automatically?▼

No, it only updates the local hugo/data/whats_new.json file. The developer reviews and commits the change, and the page ships through the normal build and deploy pipeline.
